💼 Buyer Value Option (BVO)

After the 2018 Tax Reform Bill, all employee relocation-related deductions were eliminated, making relocation expenses taxable. However, the Buyer Value Option (BVO) remains one powerful tax-protected solution.

BVO covers the highest expense in the relocation process: Home Sale Costs.

💰 On average, companies and private sellers save $15,000 or more per home sale, depending on the home's value.

🏠 Guaranteed Home Buyout Option (GBO)

Also called a “guaranteed home sale” or “guaranteed home buyout,” this benefit allows CARS to purchase the employee’s home directly, enabling a faster relocation process.

✅ The value is determined by external appraisals
✅ Home is inspected and held in CARS inventory until sold
✅ Eliminates delays and empowers employees to focus on their new role
